Lower Ahobilam — Prahlada Varada Lakshmi Narasimha Temple
The main temple in the village and the natural starting point. Its tall gopuram, carved mandapas and Vijayanagara-era pillars make it the most elaborate structure in Ahobilam. Accommodation, eateries and shops are all nearby, so this is where most visitors stay.
Lower Ahobilam — Prahlada Varada Lakshmi Narasimha Temple
The main temple in the village and the natural starting point. Its tall gopuram, carved mandapas and Vijayanagara-era pillars make it the most elaborate structure in Ahobilam. Accommodation, eateries and shops are all nearby, so this is where most visitors stay.
Upper Ahobilam — Ahobila Narasimha Temple
Around eight kilometres up the hill, this is the principal shrine and the one sung by the Alvars. The Lord here is worshipped in his fierce form, in a cave-like sanctum set into the rock. The road reaches the temple, so it is accessible for most visitors, and the Bhavanasini stream flows nearby.
Jwala Narasimha Temple and Ugra Stambham
The jwala narasimha temple is believed to mark the place where Narasimha defeated Hiranyakashipu. It is reached by a steep trek of a few kilometres from Upper Ahobilam, with rock steps, stream crossings and a waterfall along the way. Above it rises the Ugra Stambham, the rock pinnacle traditionally seen as the pillar from which the Lord emerged. Prahlada Badi, a rock shelter linked to Prahlada's schooling, lies on the same trail. Go with a local guide and start early.
Malola Narasimha Temple
A peaceful shrine where the Lord is worshipped in a gentle form with Goddess Lakshmi. It is reached by a trek from Upper Ahobilam and is considered especially important by the Ahobila Mutt, whose processional deity is Malola Narasimha.
Pavana Narasimha Temple
Set deep in the forest by the Pavana stream, this shrine is reached by a rough forest track on which local jeeps operate from Upper Ahobilam. The ride is bumpy but memorable, and many pilgrims consider the setting the most beautiful of all nine temples.
Bhargava Narasimha Temple
Located on a small hill near Lower Ahobilam beside the Bhargava Theertham pond, where the sage Parashurama is believed to have performed penance. It involves a climb of a few hundred steps after a short drive along a rough road.
Yogananda, Chatravata and Karanja Narasimha Temples
These three shrines are easy to reach by road and are usually visited together. Yogananda shows the Lord in a meditative posture, Chatravata sits beneath a peepal tree and is associated with music, and Karanja is on the way to Upper Ahobilam near a karanja tree. Kroda Narasimha, near Upper Ahobilam, completes the nine forms.
Belum Caves
About seventy kilometres away, belum caves form one of the longest cave systems in the Indian subcontinent and the longest in the plains. Lit walkways lead past stalactites, underground chambers and the Patalaganga stream. It is an easy and popular addition on the drive in or out.
Mahanandi
Roughly seventy kilometres from Ahobilam near Nandyal, the Mahanandi temple is famous for its clear, spring-fed pools that stay at a steady level all year. Together with the nine Nandi shrines of the region, it makes an ideal pairing for pilgrims.

Departure Point
Your journey to Ooty begins from Bangalore, the gateway to South India's most beloved hill stations. Pick-up is available from any part of the city — Koramangala, Electronic City, Whitefield, Hebbal, Yeshwanthpur, Marathahalli, or Majestic. The most common route out of Bangalore takes you onto NH275, the six-lane Mysore Expressway, which is one of the smoothest and best-maintained national highways in Karnataka. An early departure between 5 AM and 6 AM is strongly advised to clear Bangalore city limits before peak traffic begins. The first 50 km on the expressway are fast, comfortable, and lightly trafficked in the early hours, setting a pleasant tone for the journey ahead. Our drivers are experienced in choosing the optimal departure window and route based on real-time traffic conditions, ensuring that the first stretch of your Bangalore to Ooty road trip is efficient, calm, and enjoyable from the very first kilometre.
Birthplace of Tipu Sultan
The journey starts on Bellary Road past Hebbal and heads north toward Kempegowda International Airport. Devanahalli, just beyond the airport turn, has a stone fort and is traditionally regarded as the birthplace of Tipu Sultan, marked by a small memorial. Leaving before 6:00 AM helps you avoid airport-road traffic.
Land of Sir M. Visvesvaraya
Chikkaballapur is the district town for Nandi Hills and lies close to Muddenahalli, the birthplace of Sir M. Visvesvaraya, whose memorial is a short detour. Highway restaurants here are a good early breakfast stop
Last Karnataka Town on NH44
The highway runs through rocky hills and dry farmland. Bagepalli, near the Chitravathi river, is one of the last Karnataka towns on NH44, and the state border follows soon after, where interstate permits are checked.
Home of the Hanging Pillar
Just after entering Andhra Pradesh, a short detour of around fifteen kilometres leads to Lepakshi. Its Veerabhadra Temple is famous for a pillar that does not fully touch the ground, the giant monolithic Nandi and superb ceiling paintings. If you have an hour, it is one of the finest stops on this route.
Second Capital of the Vijayanagara Empire
Penukonda was the second capital of the Vijayanagara Empire, and its hill fort, old gateways, Gagan Mahal palace and temples still stand around the town. Puttaparthi, home of Prasanthi Nilayam, lies about forty kilometres away for those who want to add it.
Groundnut Bowl of Andhra Pradesh
Anantapur is the largest town on the first half of the drive and the centre of one of the country's biggest groundnut-growing districts. It is the natural lunch halt, with plenty of restaurants near the bypass.
Home of the Longest Plains Cave System in India
The land becomes flatter, with limestone quarries and cement plants along the road. Belum, near Kolimigundla, is home to the famous caves, and a visit of around an hour and a half fits well on the way in.
Stone Carving Town of Rayalaseema
Allagadda sits on the Kurnool to Kadapa highway and is known for its traditional stone carving workshops, where artisans shape granite idols and temple sculptures. It is also the nearest large town to Ahobilam, with fuel stations and ATMs, so this is the place to stock up before the final stretch.
Nava Narasimha Kshetram
The last leg runs toward the rising Nallamala hills, with the landscape turning greener and rockier as you approach. The road ends at Lower Ahobilam, where the temple gopuram comes into view above the village. Elapsed time from Bangalore: around eight hours with halts.
For Bangalore companies arranging employee family pilgrimages or a spiritual retreat. Includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO approval and a named driver. Our corporate travels bangalore desk can coordinate several Urbanias departing together.

The bangalore to ahobilam distance is about 380 kilometres via Chikkaballapur, Bagepalli, Kadiri, Proddatur and Allagadda. The drive takes seven and a half to eight and a half hours with breakfast and lunch halts. Some routings are slightly shorter depending on your pickup point.
Rates start from Rs 50 per kilometre, depending on seating configuration. The fare includes base fare, fuel and driver allowance. Tolls, parking, the Andhra Pradesh interstate tax, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are extra, and billing is based on total kilometres and hours from garage to garage. You receive an itemised written quote within 2 hours.
Two days in Ahobilam is ideal to cover all nine shrines comfortably, with the steep Jwala Narasimha and Ugra Stambham climbs on one morning. Including the drive, most groups plan a three- to four-day trip from Bangalore.
Yes. The Urbania drives the ghat road from Lower to Upper Ahobilam and waits near the shrines. Pavana Narasimha is reached by local jeeps on a forest track, and some shrines need a walk or trek from the road.
The climb to Jwala Narasimha and Ugra Stambham is steep and rocky, with stream crossings, so it suits fit pilgrims. Elderly members can visit the road-accessible shrines, including Lower Ahobilam, Upper Ahobilam, Karanja and the Bhargava, Yogananda and Chatravata cluster, while the rest of the group treks.
October to February is the most comfortable season. Summers are very hot, and trekking during heavy monsoon rains can be risky due to swollen streams. The annual Brahmotsavam and Narasimha Jayanti draw large crowds, so book stays and vehicles early for those dates.
Yes. Gandikota fits naturally near Muddanur on the route, and Belum Caves are about 80 kilometres from Ahobilam. Kadiri and Thimmamma Marrimanu can be added on the way. The same Urbania and driver stay with you, and the full itinerary is quoted as one figure.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms the booking. As the Urbania fleet is limited, booking early is recommended, especially for festival dates. Pay by UPI, bank transfer or card; the receipt comes within 30 minutes.
Cancellation more than 72 hours before departure is free with a full refund in 5 to 7 working days. The charge is 10 percent between 48 and 72 hours, 25 percent between 24 and 48 hours, 50 percent between 12 and 24 hours and 75 percent under 12 hours. Changes with more than 24 hours notice carry no penalty, subject to availability.
No. Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover, so pilgrims should arrange their own if required. We do not operate sleeper buses; all vehicles are seated. To book, call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773 or email info@tejastravels.com with your date, pickup point and group size.
